We report a case of a 32-year-old male patient who developed unilateral lower-limb compartment syndrome following a long surgical procedure during which intermittent pneumatic compression was used as deep-venous thrombosis prophylaxis. This complication of surgery is associated with significant morbidity. Previously published reports have suggested the possible risk factors and a way to reach a diagnosis at an early stage. The possible risk factors we present are the long operative time and the use of intermittent pneumatic compression as deep-vein thrombosis prophylaxis. These findings could be used to raise awareness in early diagnosis and treatment.
我们报告一例32岁男性患者，在一次长时间手术过程中发生单侧下肢骨筋膜室综合征，该手术期间使用间歇性气动压迫预防深静脉血栓形成。这种手术并发症会导致严重的发病率。先前发表的报告已经提出了可能的危险因素以及早期诊断方法。我们提出的可能危险因素是手术时间长以及使用间歇性气动压迫预防深静脉血栓形成。这些发现可用于提高对早期诊断和治疗的认识。
